Are baby turtles good climbers?

Are baby turtles good climbers?
would they be able to climb outta this
i have a pond
its not ever filled to the top, there is about 3 to 6 inches all the way around of stacked rock expose while the rest is in the water
WOULD BABY TURTLES CLIMB OUT OF IT and as baby turtles, less than 4 inches
yes baby turtles are VERY good climbers if your turtle were to stand vertically if he or she can reach the ledge with there hands paws whatever they can boost themselves up watch out there very good at escaping

the turtle will probaly be abole to escape if the ledge of the pond is less then 6 inches high from the water tho you might be ok with 5 inches
Baby turtles are often better climbers than adults of the same species. This is because their body weight is much less in proportion to their muscle cross-sections than larger turtles.

This is due to the square-cube law, which explains why many animals with particular body structures are certain sizes, and vise-versa.
Some turtles, such as the musk turtles, are excellent climbers, sometimes going as far as six feet above the water.
